Evolution of Lycopodiaceae (Lycopsida): Estimating Divergence Times from rbcL Gene Sequences by Use of Nonparametric Rate Smoothing

By use of nonparametric rate smoothing and nucleotide sequences of the rbcL gene, divergence times in Lycopodiaceae are estimated. The results show that much extant species diversity in Lycopodiaceae stems from relatively recent cladogenic events. These results corroborate previous ideas based on pa...
